to originate and carry out plan which
it Is pleased to designate ''The Babies

eligible lot in the center of the present

1t is proposed to give this lot, free of any
incumbFance, to some baby who is for
tunate enough to hold the lucky num-
Der. The deed will be made to the pa
rents, who will be required to hold the
lot in trust for the child until it becomes
of age. There is no charge for tickets.
They are FREE TO ALL-who have ba-

FROM THE CONTRACTORS.
A Statement as to the Nature and
Inclination of Their Union.

Inclination of Their Union.
To the Editor Of the Globe.
There are several misstatements cur
rent in regard to the position of the
Contractors and Builders board Of
trade, which, in justice to all concerned,
should be corrected.
In GLOBE editorial this morning
occurs the statement that a clause in
Che constitution of the Contractors and
Builders association prohibits that Or
ganiZation from recognizing labor
unions. How such a statement could
have gained currency is beyond concep-
ton, except that the unions thought
they did not merit recognition and
hence took it for granted that they
would not be recognized, for no such
clause exists, either in the constitution
OF bylaws of the board Of trade. nor in
